"Show and Tell Friday!"

Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.

Hello everyone! We arrived at my parent's house earlier this morning and have been having lots of fun. Since I'm on vacation I wasn't planning on participating today, but then I saw all of my mom's teapots and had to share them. :0)

My parents live in a 1925 Tudor style home and have this wonderful built-in cabinet in their dining room. My mom has her Bunnykin dishes on the top shelf and several teapots on the middle shelf.

Springtime tulips.

Marjolein Bastien is one of my favorite artists. There is a sweet scene of nuthatches at a feeder on this teapot.

Who doesn't love Peter Rabbit? :0)

A beautiful rooster teapot, along with a sugar bowl and creamer.

A teapot for two.

We have already had tea in this pretty pot twice today!

I think this rooster teapot is so fun!

And finally, this may be my favorite one. My mom found this lemon teapot at the resale store for $1.75!

Thank you for looking at my mom's teapots!

Hello,So glad you are *here*. Crockery and china are mon peche mignon! The Bastien and the rooster teapot and creamer are lovely. Beautiful, delicate and skillful work.Enjoy your vacation and your family.

Forgive me. I just realized I didn't post a comment related to your tea pots. Those are very pretty. My mother has an extensive collection of tea pots. So much so that Dad asked her to finally stop buying them. lol
